SQLAlchemy: query a column for its maximum size

Vote count:

Is it possible to query a column for its maximum possible size that can be stored in it? For example, say I declare a column using

content = Column(LargeBinary)

then how can I ask content for its maximum possible size that I can store in? I could need that to check if given data would exceed the store, instead of waiting for the store to fail with

Warning: Data truncated for column 'content' at row 1
